Chinese Word Game Time!
Much to my amazement, a few of you have sent me private emails inquiring if I was doing the Chinese Word Game soon. Over the holidays, I've come up with a new series and some drawings.
Some Chinese words are based on pictograph/ pictogram/ pictogramme, which means the written words, at least at one point in history, resemble the icon, or ideogram, of the word's meaning.
I've drawn a few pictures here, as well as the modern writing of the word derived from the ideogram.
Please guess what the word(s) mean(s).
*** Those who understand Chinese language, please refrain from participating. ***
*** Also, please do not use internet apps to find the answer, that is cheating and defeats the whole idea of the game, don't you think?? ***
THANK YOU!
